Lt. Denise Everhart, Molalla Fire District spokeswoman, said firefighters were called to the camp, 18499 S. Highway 211, at 9:32 a.m., when fire broke out in a resident caretaker's mobile home. Firefighters kept the blaze from spreading throughout the 218-acre retreat, which is operated by the United Church of Christ. But the home was declared a total loss, Everhart said.

A dog in an outdoor pen was taken away from the scene and was not injured.
